1893. With forewords by F.J. Furnivall. Capgrave, learned traveler and friar of Lynn in Norfolk, was an indefatigable student, and reputed to be the best known man of letters of his time. His reputation came from the greater part of his works which are theological: sermons, commentaries and lives of saints. John Capgrave's life of Saint Katherine of Alexandria belongs to the most popular genre of medieval narrative: hagiography, or writings about the saints. It tells the story of Katherine of Alexandria who portrays a young woman in Egypt in the early fourth century, and when required to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods, protesting to the Emperor Maxentius that he cease his idolatry and persecution of the Christians, and turn instead to the one true God. His version of Katherine's story is counted among the richest in the genre. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
